After XD, I had Pokemon Ruby. My friend (the one I got pokemon cards from) always told me about his LeafGreen game at recess and it sounded so different from XD I thought "I should get a Game boy game. It would be a new experience with Pokemon." So I got Ruby I chose Treecko as my starter (even then I was drawn to the Grass type as you'll soon find out) and his backup was Tentacool (both soon evolved). I dominated the Champion Steven. Unfortunately, I FAILED to catch Groudon as I didn't save before trying (I was NEW!). In this game, I collected magikarp and gave them funny nicknames like FISHY FLOP and TOASTONRYE. I also collected Tropius, Mawile, and Girafarig. After Pokemon Ruby there was Pokemon Emerald. I couldn't decide which starter, so I borrowed another Game Boy and traded starters with Ruby, restarted the game, and traded back to get all three starters! I beat Champion Wallace and competed at the Battle Frontier. I ended up getting the Luck Symbol but that's all. I caught Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza and the other non-event legendaries. After this, I got Pokemon LeafGreen. I chose Squirtle. With Blastoise and his backups, Sandslash and Kabutops. We dominated Mud(rival) and explored the Sevii Islands. I caught the Legendary Birds plus Mewtwo. Then came my most epic encounter with Pokemon: Pokemon Pearl. I had been anticipating the release of Generation VI forever! I got Pokemon Pearl the day it came out. I chose Piplup and loved every minute I played this game. I caught Palkia and got a ton more legendaries via migration including the Lugia from Pokemon XD. I actually fairly (without Action Replay) completed the National Pokedex except for Cyndaquil, Quilava, Typhlosion, Lunatone, Latias, and Jirachi. Seriously! Around this time I got a Wii with Pokemon Battle Revolution and copy my Pokemon from Pearl. But a tragic thing happened. IT GOT ERASED! My friend (not the same one that I talked about before)had action replay and I used it sometimes for walk through walls and stuff (NOT FOR CAPTURING POKEMON) But then there was a scuffle with the union room and my game got stuck so I had to restart it. At least I still have most of my Pokemon preserved on Battle Revolution! (Yay, silver lining!) Anyway, I started over and chose Chimchar. My friend felt terrible and gave me his spare Pearl game loaded with strong Pokemon for me to use (starter=Turtwig). This made my superteam of Arceus, Tangrowth, Lugia, Kyogre, Mew, Mewtwo, and occasionally, an FEAR Rattata. Eventually I got over the loss of my game and led to Pokemon HeartGold. It was my first game ever that I pre-ordered. I chose Totodile and used a Togekiss and Butterfree as backup. The Togekiss I got from the Mystery Egg at the beginning of the game. The Butterfree I caught as a Caterpie on Level 3 and raised it to Level 83 via Pokewalker. I beat Lance + Red and have currently caught every legendary. So those are all my games. I also have Pokemon Rumble and have beaten Normal Mode and am working on Advanced Mode.

So, here is what happened. In my Pokemon Ruby game, I was on Route 114 when I encountered a wild Zangoose. I did not know about shiny Pokemon at the time (I was still learning, remember) and I thought 'hey this is strange I better catch it' but then I fainted it by accident. I didn't think much of it until I told my friend about it and he told me about shinys. So I was unlucky. BUT! In Pokemon LeafGreen, I was walking in Mt. Ember and came across a shiny Slugma! I didn't want to risk fainting it like Zangoose but I only had 1 Ultra Ball. So I risked it. And... CAUGHT IT!!! I evolved it into Magcargo. The next shinys I got were to shiny Pichus which are event Pichus I got at Gamestop for both my Pearl games. And of course the red Gyarados in HeartGold. Now I am working on using Masuda's method to get a shiny Lickitung with a German Lickitung I got off the GTS and evolving it into Lickilicky.
